Concrete and dreams underneath my feet
Grew up on these blocks where the cold and the warm meet
Didn't have much but I had this view
Rooftops and water towers skies painted blue
This city raised me made me who I am
Every subway line running through my veins

And I've been down I've been lost in these streets
But every time I fell this city caught me

(mm)

New York New York
I was made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that I own
I have loved I have lost
On these streets made of stone
But I always — always
Find my way home

Harlem nights had nothing but a name
Told myself either make it or make it no game
Penthouse dreams from a fire escape view
This city don't love you till you prove something true
I've seen men fold under all this weight
But New York only opens up for those who wait

And I've been cold sleeping on ambition
But this city turned my hunger into vision
(yeah)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
But we always — always
Find our way home

(ohhh yeah)
(home…)

They say the city never sleeps
(never sleeps)
But I've seen it quiet
At 4 AM when even the brave weep
(weep…)
And still — the lights stay on
(lights stay on)
And still — we carry on
(carry on…)
Because this city chose us
As much as we chose it
(mm)
Every broken dream here
Still has fire in it
(fire…)
(ohhhh)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
(own it)
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
(these streets)
But we always — always
(always)
Find our way
(find our way)

Home
(HOME)
(ohhhhh)

New York…
(mm)
You never let me go
(never…)
And I never wanted you to
(fade)

You showed up late with your hair still wet
Said “don’t ask where I’ve been”
I had two cold drinks and a nervous smile
You had trouble on your skin

We left our phones in the corner booth
Ran out before the bill
You said “I know a road where the city ends”
I said “show me I will”

And I don’t know
Where this thing is going
But your hand’s in mine
And the night keeps rolling

You say my name
Like a song you’re learning
Then you pull me close
And the whole street’s turning

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

You kicked your shoes off by the seaside bar
Danced on the pavement line
I tried to act like I didn’t care
But I was losing my mind

You stole my cap I stole your look
We were laughing too loud
Somebody played that old guitar
And you sang to the crowd

And I don’t know
If this is a warning
But your eyes say stay
Till the blue of morning

You say my name
Like you mean it maybe
Then you smile like that
And the night goes crazy

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you

**[Bridge - Half Time]**
Maybe September comes too soon
Maybe this all disappears
Maybe we’re just two hearts
Making too much noise out here

But I don’t wanna slow down
I don’t wanna be right
I just wanna keep you
For the rest of tonight

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
Run into summer with you

Sept heures douze le réveil insiste
Je négocie encore quatre minutes
Le chat me regarde comme une huissière
Il connaît déjà toutes mes excuses

Une chaussette noire une chaussette bleue
Je déclare que c’est volontaire
Le pain a brûlé pendant que je lisais
Un message marqué « très prioritaire »

Dans l’ascenseur Madame Lefèvre
Me raconte son ficus malade
Je hoche la tête avec gravité
Comme une spécialiste des salades

J’avais prévu d’être impeccable
Organisée presque admirable
Mais le mardi connaît mon adresse
Et vient toujours semer le désordre

La vie c’est souvent de travers
Un bus raté des pâtes trop cuites
Un grand discours dans ma tête
Puis « oui bien sûr » quand on m’invite

La vie c’est rarement comme prévu
Mais franchement tant mieux peut-être
Je perds mes clés je gagne une histoire
Et ça suffit pour tenir debout

À dix heures trente réunion d’équipe
Quelqu’un partage trente-six tableaux
Je dessine un poisson sur mon carnet
Il a l’air plus compétent que nous

À midi Sonia commande léger
Puis vole la moitié de mes frites
Elle dit : « Ça ne compte pas vraiment
Quand ça vient de l’assiette d’une copine »

Le serveur oublie mon dessert
Je décide que c’est philosophique
Certaines choses arrivent en retard
D’autres jamais et c’est très pratique

J’avais prévu d’être raisonnable
De répondre vite d’être joignable
Mais mon téléphone tombe à trois pour cent
Et soudain le monde se débrouille

La vie c’est souvent de travers
Un bus raté des pâtes trop cuites
Un grand discours dans ma tête
Puis « oui bien sûr » quand on m’invite

La vie c’est rarement comme prévu
Mais franchement tant mieux peut-être
Je perds mes clés je gagne une histoire
Et ça suffit pour tenir debout

Dix-neuf heures six petite supérette
Je prends du lait des tomates du savon
Je repars avec un ananas
Et sans aucune explication

Le caissier demande si j’ai la carte
Je réponds oui puis cherche longtemps
Derrière moi personne ne soupire
C’est probablement un miracle local

Chez moi je cuisine en musique
Le chat refuse toute participation
Je mange debout près de l’évier
Comme une reine sans administration

On nous apprend les grandes décisions
Les beaux départs les lendemains utiles
Mais personne ne parle assez souvent
Du bonheur discret d’annuler un dîner

D’enlever ses chaussures trop tôt
De rire seule pour une phrase idiote
De trouver au fond d’un vieux sac
Le bonbon qu’on croyait disparu

La vie c’est souvent de travers
Un rendez-vous puis une autre route
Une mauvaise journée bien racontée
Devient presque une journée réussie

La vie c’est rarement comme prévu
Et c’est peut-être tout son talent
Je ferme les volets je laisse la vaisselle
Demain fera mieux… ou différemment

Minuit vingt-deux le réveil est prêt
Je promets d’être sérieuse demain
Le chat me regarde sans rien dire
Il connaît déjà très bien la fin

Feelings
Now we're out of touch
And it feels strange
If I'm being honest
I don't think I've ever been in love
I was young
And you were the closest thing to it
So it felt close enough
Now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

Aren't we over this by now?
I thought I'd finally figured it out

My friends tell me
That it was a real relationship
'Cause that's what I said it was
But how could it have been?
We were just kids
Trying to play pretend
At least you were
And I thought I could keep up
I thought it would be fun
But now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

Now I'm here
Having flashbacks to the days
That I'd make you smile
And you'd run and hide your face
That was the closest thing to love
I've ever known
And now I'm here
And now it's gone
I guess I'm just waiting
For it to come back along

Aren't we over this by now?
I thought I'd finally figured it out

My friends tell me
That it was a real relationship
'Cause that's what I said it was
But how could it have been?
We were just kids
Trying to play pretend
At least you were
And I thought I could keep up
I thought it would be fun
But now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

You gave me praise with borrowed words
A polished smile for every turn
A front-row seat a painted name
A perfect pose a hollow game
I learned the rules I played my part
Held every cue against my heart
Then one small crack became a door
I do not need that stage anymore

Keep your medals keep your throne
I can build a life my own

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

You sold applause as if it cared
Counted every room I shared
Made my value fit a chart
Turned a person to a part
I know success can still be kind
When I decide what counts as mine
No public score no velvet rope
Can own my nerve or price my hope

Keep your medals keep your throne
I can build a life my own

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

I do not need a room to rise
I do not need their measured eyes
My worth survives without a vote
That is the line I choose to hold

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Love came with lessons
I signed every time

I used to ask for reasons
Every time plans fell apart
Now I save my questions
For the rooms inside my heart

Some people came with flowers
Some came with unpaid pain
Some gave me a lesson
And never used my name

I had a younger version
Who wanted every door
Now I need less approval
And I sleep a little more

I do not call it failure
When I learn what I can hold
Some gold comes wrapped as pressure
Some truth arrives cold

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I learned love can be simple
And still not be enough
I learned peace has a price tag
But so does holding up

My mama said be patient
My pride said be wise
My body knew the answer
Before I opened my eyes

I made friends with my limits
I made space for my needs
I stopped calling it selfish
When I wanted to breathe

I keep a little humor
For the hardest kind of day
If joy knocks once a month
I still let it stay

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I do not owe the past
A seat beside my plate
I can love what happened
And still close that gate

I do not rush my healing
I do not fake my pace
I can carry history
Without wearing its face

I found grace after losing
I found room after no
I found out life keeps giving
When I let some things go

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I take what life hands me
I know where I stand
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Life came with lessons
I signed every time

Good morning citizens
Your mood has been selected
Please remain casually impressed

I bought a smile from a vending machine
It came with batteries polished and clean
The screen said “Buddy you’re doing fine”
Then charged my card for wasting its time

My neighbor’s dog has a podcast now
He sells good habits and teaches you how
I wear dark glasses inside the store
So the cameras think I’ve been here before

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Spin that message seal the deal
Everybody wants a better view
Nobody wants to change the room

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

The mayor dances in a cereal ad
Says being watched should make us glad
A plastic moon hangs over the street
While delivery drones argue over the beat

My profile picture went out for a walk
Came back famous and refused to talk
It signed my name to a brand-new life
With better teeth and a rented wife

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Pick a number turn the wheel
Everybody wants a cleaner truth
Printed fresh in a rented booth

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Terms and conditions tattooed on the ceiling
Swipe for approval subscribe to a feeling
Five-star panic in a paper cup
The world went down but the price went up

I got two left shoes and a counterfeit map
A government pigeon asleep in my lap
They said “Stay positive stay on brand”
So I drew a door where they built a wall
And walked straight through with the mic in my hand

No notification
No explanation
No invitation
Just oscillation

No verification
No celebration
Lose your location
Find your vibration

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Your session has expired
Good

Cut the feed
Leave the meter running
Hold that grin
I came with my own timing

You tried to sell me a cleaner name
With the corners sanded down
Put my laugh in a little glass case
Said “Look who’s stable now”

I don’t fit in your easy chart
I don’t land on command
There’s a tune in my crooked part
You don’t understand

Don’t fix the bend
Don’t mute the spark
I keep my rhythm
Off the mark

No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold

You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told

No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet

Your golden rule came overdressed
And talked like a magazine
I poured black coffee on the test
Made the paper sing

You said “Be calm be useful now”
I said “Nice little cage”
Then I took my pulse off your clock
And rewrote the page

Don’t trim the heat
Don’t square the sound
I keep my rhythm
Upside down

No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold

You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told

No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet

Left right
Too bright
Low kick
Uptight

Turn snap
Come back
One more
Off-track

I was never built for your manual
Never born for a numbered lane
Every time you label the motion
Something loose begins to play

Let the clean ones keep their answers
Let the smooth ones win the floor
I have trouble in my timing
And it always asks for more

No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold

You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told

No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet

Cut the feed
Leave it running
No default
I’m still coming

I used to leave the light on by the door
Kept your coffee warm like I had before
But you were always somewhere else in your mind

Left me talking to a ghost wasting my time
Folded all your lies like they were clean clothes

Put 'em in a drawer that's how this thing goes
I cried in the shower so you wouldn't hear
Now I don't even need to — baby I'm clear

I gave you rivers you gave me drought
Spent so long wondering what love's about
But the woman in the mirror finally spoke
Said "baby you're the fire — he was just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(yeah yeah)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh)

You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(uh uh)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
No you didn't take my heart

(ohhh)

I see you now when you walk through the room
Different energy like you shed the gloom
I won't pretend that I don't feel the weight
Of every choice I made a little too late
(background whisper: "too late… too late…")
You were patient like a Sunday in June
I was reckless chased a different tune
And now I'm standing here on the outside damn
Watching you become everything you planned

She gave me rivers I gave her drought
Now I'm the one standing here in doubt
And the man in the mirror finally broke
Said "she was the fire — you were just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(let it go let it go)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh yeah)
You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(never that)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
You didn't take my heart
(no no no…)

There were nights I almost called
(almost…)
Fingers on your name then I'd stall
(stall…)
But every time I stopped myself I grew
(grew…)

Into someone I love more than I loved you
(bass begins to swell)
More than I loved you
(mmh)
More — than — I — loved — you

(yeah)

I'm not broken I'm just new
(just new just new)
Everything I lost was just a clue
(clue ohhh)
You thought leaving me would dim my light
(can't dim this)
Boy you left —
(he left)
And baby I ignite
(I ignite I ignite)
I ig-nite
(ohhhh)
Mmmmh…
(still standing…)
Still standing

Yeah
Almost beautiful

You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light

I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late

Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud

And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you

Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might

Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you

I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line

Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands

Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side

I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long

I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all

Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you

Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

One more message then I let it go
No hard feelings just a different road

You send a question past a quarter two
I read it twice but I already knew
We kept a habit long beyond its use
Now every answer feels like an excuse

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No no no replay
No no no replay

Friends keep asking if I miss the sound
I miss who I was when you came around
But missing isn't an instruction now
I know the exit and I know it counts

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

Maybe closure isn't something said
Maybe it's the choice to step ahead
No villain no score no debt to pay
Just two people choosing separate ways

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No hard feelings no replay
I choose peace and walk away

Slow down…
Don’t wake the fire
It already knows
Who I am

Dust hangs low where the old road bends
Every scar still remembers friends
I don’t ask if tomorrow stays
I just count the smoke instead of days

One cold wind
One tired hand
Trying to build
What never stands

Every prayer arrives
Wearing different clothes
Maybe heaven answers
Maybe nobody knows

Hold your flame
Don’t hide your face
Even broken walls
Can become a place

If the night
Calls out my name
I’ll answer slow
Just the same

Hold your flame…
Don’t let it fade

My father’s coat still smells like rain
Every pocket keeps a different pain
Coins grow heavy
Truth grows light
Some men disappear
Before the fight

I don’t need another miracle
Only one more mile to walk
The silence speaks
Louder than angels
When nobody talks

Hold your flame
Across the storm
Nothing living
Stays untouched or warm

If I fall
Don’t call my name
Just leave the fire…
Exactly where it came

The ashes know my name…
The ashes know…
My name…

At 2:17 the refrigerator cleared its throat
I said “Don’t start”
It started

The kettle only sings for one
The toaster burns my alibis
Your coffee cup is upside down
Like it has closed its little eyes

I bought a cactus for morale
It quit on Tuesday night
The landlord says the pipes are fine
The fridge is taking your side

Every appliance has an opinion
Every opinion sounds like you
The freezer hums through cross-examination
I plead the fifth and eat for two

The washer handed back one sock
As proof I can’t be trusted
The vacuum found your silver hoop
Then parked itself disgusted

I tried to cook that thing you liked
The smoke alarm performed the lead
I took a bow it took the battery
A fair review I must concede

“Did you call her?”
No

“Will you call her?”
No

“Are you lying?”
Next question

“Who are you talking to?”
The refrigerator

Every appliance has an opinion
Even the clock has joined in too
The freezer hums for the prosecution
And I still cook enough for two

Your note is folded under pears
I read it only when they spoil
The final line says “Please be well”
As if well came wrapped in foil

At dawn the motor settles down
The whole flat loses its nerve
I almost miss our little war
Then hear the ice tray say one word:

“Call”

Mind your own business

At 2:18 it cleared its throat again
I moved it three inches from the wall
We are no longer speaking

I saw your name in the window light
spelled out backwards on a passing bus
city heat on a borrowed bike
and a little bit of trouble looking back at us

You had a laugh like a camera flash
gone too soon but it burned the room
I had a heart with a broken latch
swinging open to a silver moon

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

Coffee cold on a rooftop stair
bassline leaking from a taxi door
You tied a ribbon in your midnight hair
said the future isn't hungry anymore

I was counting every exit sign
making maps out of ways to leave
Then you put your hand inside of mine
like a rhythm that remembered me

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

All my static turns to motion
all my caution learns to shine
There's a pulse beneath the pavement
keeping perfect crooked time

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

Velvet circuits in the crosswalk glow
Velvet circuits and the city knows
Velvet circuits when the morning spins
I keep coming back to begin

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

You walk past me
With a half smile
Like you know trouble
Got a new style

I say nothing
You say my name
Now every old rule
Feels out of frame

You got rhythm
With no big move
I got questions
I can’t prove

One small look
One sharp turn
Now my whole chest
Has to learn

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

You don’t promise
You don’t pretend
You just make trouble
Feel like a friend

There’s a song playing
From a passing car
You move once
And I know where we are

Not too sweet
Not too serious
Something about you
Gets dangerous

I was careful
I was composed
Now my good sense
Leaves when you’re close

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Maybe this is simple
Maybe this is not
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I forgot

How to keep distance
How to stay wise
How to tell my body
Not to take your side

You don’t have to save me
You don’t have to stay
Just don’t look at me
That particular way

[Final Chorus]
Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

Glass on the shoreline
Silver on skin
The night keeps folding
As the rhythm pulls us in
Every street is breathing slower
Windows shimmer then disappear
You don't have to say forever
You're already here
One more step
One more spark
One more pulse across the dark

No destination
Only motion
Floating where the bass begins

Higher
Take me where the skyline bends
Higher
Nothing has to make sense
We move
Like the tide beneath the light
Higher
Till tomorrow loses sight

Dust rises softly
Under every heel
Ancient echoes
Wrapped in something new and real
Hands cut circles through the silence
Every heartbeat shifts its place
No one owns this second
No one leaves a trace
The air keeps turning
Round and round
Every shadow finds a sound

No gravity
No history
Just the rhythm underneath
We don't chase the sunrise
We become the color
One breath
One horizon
Nothing louder

Higher
Lift the night above the ground
Higher
Feel the silence singing loud
We move
Where the desert meets the sea
Higher
You and the frequency
Higher
Only the frequency

Yeah
Rio Vane
Zuri Vanta
not FM in the mix
Filodyo
Summer starts right here

Ay
Turn it up turn it up
We outside tonight

Calor de junio
You already know

You came through with the sun on your shoulder
New dress old smile little bit closer
City too hot but you make it colder
When you move like that I lose control yeah

Got your friends in the backseat singing
Windows down whole boulevard listening
No plans just a night worth living
One look and the whole thing switching

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

I got that feeling
You got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

Gold chain white tee you know the story
But you don’t move like the boys before me
You talk sweet but your eyes say more things
I might stay if the night keeps calling

No drama no pressure no questions
Just rhythm bare feet good intentions
If this is trouble I like the direction
You and me look good in reflection

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

You got that feeling
I got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

She don’t need a ticket she’s the destination
He don’t need a reason just imagination
Palm trees moving like they know our names
If we disappear don’t put out the flame

Not tomorrow
Not too late

Right now right here
Let the summer wait

not FM
Filodyo
Zuri tell ’em

Ay ay ay
Move it like the heat is talking
Ay ay ay
No more waiting no more stopping

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Calor de junio

Summer starts now

We got a little time
Let's burn a little more
Soakin' in the sunshine
In love with the shore
And when the night falls
I get a little bored
I think of you

In a sundress (Ooh)
Dancin' with the moonlight (Ah)
Can't get enough
Let's fall in love

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

I hear your name
Under the noise
A distant flame
A broken voice

We were young in a room full of strangers
Dancing close to a feeling we knew
Every light had a warning inside it
Every road was leading back to you

I kept the photos but lost the meaning
Kept the song but forgot the sound
Now I wake with a heart full of questions
And a silence I can’t turn down

Tell me are you somewhere
Under the same sky?
Do you ever look back
When the night drives by?

I have been running
But I don’t know what from
I have been searching
For the place we were one

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

Find you
Find you
I’m still trying to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?

There are nights when the city feels weightless
Like the streets are floating away
I see your face in the glass of a window
Then it fades before I can say

I was wrong I was scared I was human
I was holding a storm in my hands
You were love you were home you were shelter
I was too late to understand

Tell me are you somewhere
Under the same sky?
Do you ever hear me
When the waves rise high?

I have been running
But I don’t know what from
I have been searching
For the place we were one

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

Maybe we were not lost
Maybe we were changing
Maybe every goodbye
Has another name

If you hear me tonight
Through the static and rain
Leave a light in the dark
I would find you again

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

I hear your name
Under the noise
A distant flame
A broken voice

Ladies and gentlemen
From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party
They call him
Disco Machiavelli

Not a prince
Not a saint
Just trouble in a velvet jacket

He walks in late with a golden cane
White silk shirt and a champagne stain
Everybody knows but nobody tells
He buys bad luck and sells it well

Midnight phone no caller ID
Three black cars on a one-way street
He says “my dear don’t follow the rules”
Then disappears by the swimming pool

He’s got the city on a string
He makes the mirror wanna sing
Too much charm too much heat
Dancing like a scandal in the street

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Nicht so schnell mein Freund

She met him once at the Hotel Noir
Red wine smile and a stolen car
He said “love is politics darling you’ll see”
Then left her name on the balcony

Velvet gloves dangerous plans
Kissing rings on invisible hands
He don’t dance he negotiates
With the DJ and the city gates

He’s got the night under control
Silver shoes and a borrowed soul
Too much style too much speed
Living like the headline of the week

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Signorina
Listen carefully
Power is a dance floor
And everybody pays entry

He said it with a smile
Then he vanished in the bassline

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Dance with the devil
But dress like heaven

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Too much drama
Too much leather

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Velvet panic
Television confetti

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
He was here for a minute
He’s a legend now

From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party

Disco Machiavelli

Ciao baby ciao
